CLARE DINGMAN RHOADES

Clare and her then husband were friends of my then wife Niki and me in Santa Fe in 70s and 80s. I was timid in rafting but had foljs working for me in Mental Heslth who wanted a more adventurous boss! I didn´t want to go with them but with push from more fearless Niki we went with Clare and John down a portion the RG! Marvelous! I always admired her style, skill, and grit. Just reading about river rafting now 40 plus years later reminded me of our times together so thought I would...

The whole Seitz Family misses you Clare. Danced at you wedding. Cried at your funeral.

To this day, we miss you Clare. We think of you often from South Kent...and Santa Fe. You left a wonderful legacy with all the community work you performed, with a giving and loving spirit. Your beautiful kids carry on.
JOANNA and BILL SEITZ

A tragic loss ; she left a legacy and enduring spirit we can all emulate in our own meager endeavors. My early life was made richer by her presence. Love you, Clare

We'll never forget dear Clare! Her beautiful smile, feminist politics and amazing athleticism made her one of the most strong and powerful women in our community, which she lovingly served for so many years. Her life was tragically cut short doing something she loved. We'll always miss her energy and friendship.
♥♥

Darling Claire, we will miss your beautiful smile, your warm heart and your generous spirit. You lived your life fearlessly and completely. Your journey continues as you head in to the vast universe of souls who go on forever. We love you and we will always carry you in our hearts. Joanna, Bill and Amanda

I had the privileged of joining Clare on her trek to Mustang, Nepal last summer. She warmly welcomed me and advised me on preparation. Clare is a great traveler, always discretely engaging with the locals, especially the women. Thank you Clare, for the amazing adventure.

Clare is my first cousin and she taught me the joy of painting when we came together on Cape Cod during early summers of our youth. She was a free-spirit and I loved her. She will be sorely missed by the family.
